A comparative study of VPO catalysts in the oxidation of butane to maleic anhydride.

Co promoted and unpromoted vanadium-phosphorous-oxide (VPO) catalysts were synthesized via an organic route. The catalyst precursor was calcined and then conditioned in a reactor, forming the active vanadyl pyrophosphate, (VO)2P2O7, phase. Different promoter loaded catalysts were synthesized and the...
